It came across..
"Coz he..er..if I was a plumber...NO I mean he'll need a plumber, no..erm..TEN plumbers to fix...no....I mean his gay lover Tony plumber...erm..Bellew...if he calls me any names...his big stiff Liverpool plumbing...um...and that midget is..ah..small and..er...."
Splutter rant etc
Sorry but Louis CK he ain't.
When you say what he did - it could come across as menacing and unpleasant or it could be funny which is a much harder task unless you have good comic timing which Fury has.
(tuts, raises eyes, shakes head).
What happened last night is a mike was shoved in front of a large idiot.
He unsurprisingly spluttered out a load of staggeringly juvenile invective.
And what made this funny?
Two things.
1) That his mouth was working twice as fast as his tiny brain, so for the most part, it made no sense (unless the 10 plumbers remark was actually some new form of Vic & Bob-style surrealist comedy).
2) That this gibberish was delivered while he was wearing a hat that looked like the kind they stick on the heads of unfortunate kids battling some terrible disease.
As I said, I DID laugh, but wit and 'comic timing' had absolutely nothing to do with my laughter.
I'll never make it as a discourse analyst?
Well that's just something I'm going to have to live with.
